I recently passed my B1 Telc with an acceptable 84%

I am taking one hour of B2 private lessons daily M-F.

I work with bilingual children that speak Züri-deutsch

I am looking for recommendations for classes for swiss German. Please chime in with advice for what worked.

Any books or media (films/music) recommendations are also welcome.

Thanks in advanced.

I’m not suggesting these from personal experience, but I saw them mentioned on reddit today!

Star Trek. Swiss German sounds a bit like Klingon.

Hi there

I work as a German teacher in Switzerland and I know the struggle from my students. Also my husband is an expat, so I know it form personal experience as well

I always suggest to first learn German until B1/B2 level and then start to practice more and more Swiss German. The best way is really just to listen to people on the street and try to differenciate between German and Swiss German.

Let me know if I can help with anything specific
